Before dawn broke that day, Ye Chen disguised himself at home.
He spent some Gold Soul Coins to buy a realistic child's mask from the System Shop, then bought a set of clothes and changed into a new appearance.
Looking at the unfamiliar face in the mirror, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. This way, no one would be able to recognize him.
He then left home and ran toward the Martial Soul Branch Hall in the city.
A few minutes later, Ye Chen caught sight of the Martial Soul Branch Hall.
At this time, the gates of the Martial Soul Branch Hall were still closed. Even the guards who usually stood at the entrance were absent, since it was not yet working hours.
After looking around and confirming that no one was nearby, he immediately took an anonymous report letter from the Storage Necklace around his neck and slipped it through the crack in the gates.
Ye Chen planned to take a two-pronged approach: report Tang Da Chui to Spirit Hall while also sending him a Threat Letter.
He refused to believe that Tang Da Chui and Tang San would still remain in Holy Soul Village instead of leaving!
I just hope the people at Notting City's Martial Soul Branch Hall won't be so curious that they personally go to Holy Soul Village to verify this information!
If Spirit Hall's men openly went to Holy Soul Village to find Tang Da Chui without a top-tier expert leading them, they would only be throwing their lives away.
Although Tang Da Chui was now riddled with old injuries, he was still not someone ordinary Soul Masters could handle—not even ordinary Titled Douluo.
At this point in time, only the seven Offering Elders of Spirit Hall's Elder Hall, or Pope Bibi Dong personally leading the group, would likely be able to deal with Tang Da Chui.
When one's wife was sacrificed to heaven, one's soul power became boundless—this was no mere saying.
But Bibi Dong definitely would not make a move. She would rather Spirit Hall had a powerful enemy to cause it trouble!
After all, one of her wishes was to lead Spirit Hall to its destruction.
Ye Chen guessed that Bibi Dong in the original story had surely known long ago that Tang San was Tang Da Chui's son.
After all, whenever Spirit Hall's Martial Soul Awakening Envoys awakened Martial Souls for children, they would register and document any child with Innate Soul Power, then issue them a Martial Soul Certificate.
For a peerless genius with Innate Full Soul Power, regardless of what their Martial Soul was—even if it was just a pile of dog shit (speaking of which, if there were shit-type Martial Souls, would they follow the food system or the control system in the future?)—Notting City's Martial Soul Branch Hall would definitely report it.
Su Yuntao might not know, but could Bibi Dong not know there was something suspicious about it?
Bibi Dong was Yu Xiaogang's former lover. It was impossible for her not to know that an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could never possess Innate Full Soul Power. It would also have been easy for her to investigate Tang San's family background thoroughly.
Perhaps Bibi Dong had been grateful to Tang Da Chui for creating an opportunity for her to kill Qian Xunji, and with her Rakshasa God Test, she had not regarded Tang San, this genius, as a threat. Was that why she had decided to spare the two of them?
Unfortunately, she became a god, yet still failed in the end, ultimately dying at Tang San's hands.
After leaving the Martial Soul Branch Hall, Ye Chen headed to the market in the south of the city.
As for why Ye Chen had come to the market, it was naturally because people from Holy Soul Village would appear here.
Notting City was, after all, a city with a population exceeding ten thousand. It consumed no small amount of vegetables and fruit every day, while the surrounding villages had fairly developed agriculture. Every day, people hauled these goods to the market in the south of Notting City to sell.
And since Ye Chen wanted to anonymously deliver those prepared Threat Letters to Tang Da Chui, he definitely could not do it himself. He only needed to spend a little money and have villagers from Holy Soul Village pass them along.
That was right—several letters. Ye Chen was worried that someone might break their word, take the money, and fail to do the job, so he intended to entrust several people with them.
As for a child carrying money possibly arousing someone else's greed? Ye Chen was not worried about that.
With his own strength, six-year-old Ye Chen certainly could not defeat an adult. But three days earlier, he had bought a pistol with light recoil from the System Shop.
Although the gun's low recoil meant its bullets were not especially powerful, let alone against ordinary people, even a Two Ring Great Soul Master would still be taken down by a single shot if they were careless and failed to dodge in time.
Besides, what Soul Master would even care about such a small amount of money?
Upon arriving at the market in the south of the city, Ye Chen found that quite a few vegetable vendors were already unloading their goods.
He then began asking around about which people had come from Holy Soul Village.
After making inquiries, he learned that, so far, three people had come from Holy Soul Village. All of them were middle-aged and presumably had elderly parents above them and young children below them to support.
Three it is. That should be about enough.
Ye Chen immediately walked toward one of the middle-aged man's stalls.
"Young master, what would you like to buy?"
The middle-aged man saw that Ye Chen was dressed extravagantly, with clothes made of high-quality fabric, and immediately spoke in a respectful tone.
"Do you know Tang Hao?"
"Tang Hao? The blacksmith from our village?"
The middle-aged man froze. A young master from the city knew the drunken blacksmith from their village too?
"Yes. He has a son named Tang San."
"Yes, yes, yes. Tang Hao does indeed have a son named Tang San."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man thought to himself, That drunkard Tang Hao has relatives in the city too?
"Deliver this letter to Tang Hao. This is your payment."
Ye Chen took out a Threat Letter from his Storage Soul Tool and handed over a Gold Soul Coin as well.
"!!! Really?"
The middle-aged man's eyes immediately lit up, his gaze fixed blankly on the Gold Soul Coin in Ye Chen's hand.
One had to know that on Douluo Continent, Gold Soul Coins had considerable purchasing power. A single Gold Soul Coin was enough to cover several months of living expenses for an ordinary family of three. All he had to do was deliver a letter, and he could earn a Gold Soul Coin?
"That's right. Just make sure the letter gets delivered. But if you take my money and fail to do the job, don't let me see you again..."
Yes, Ye Chen even threw in a verbal threat.
"No problem, young master. I guarantee I'll deliver the letter!"
The middle-aged man immediately patted his chest in assurance. To him, delivering a letter was hardly any trouble.
Besides, this young master before him looked like he came from a wealthy family. If he took the money and failed to do the job, he would definitely be in for a world of trouble.
"Mm, very good. Remember what you said."
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction and left the stall.
Afterward, he used the same method to give instructions to two other villagers from Holy Soul Village before leaving the market.
Looks like the security in Notting City isn't bad. No one actually got greedy after seeing the money?
After taking a long detour and confirming that no one was following him, Ye Chen thought to himself.
In truth, it was not that Notting City's security was particularly good. Rather, whenever Ye Chen took out Gold Soul Coins and letters, he had retrieved them from a Storage Soul Tool.
And anyone with a Storage Soul Tool was a Spirit Master. Ordinary people did not dare provoke one.
